Good points about what the JEP should say. I've updated it.
Pretty much every article I've seen that describes Compact Strings
also mentions the -XX:-CompactStrings option, so the option seems
fairly well known. (In addition to it appearing in our documentation.)
However, we don't know how many people actually *use* the option. I
suspect there might be a long tail of conservative ("don't touch
anything!") folks who added it a long time ago out of an abundance of
caution and forgot about it, so it would be good to get the word out
as widely as possible.
I see Alex'sedits, the Motivation and Description are very clear now, at
the right level for the expected reader.
